Transition metal-mediated C–H bond activation and functionalization represent one of the
most straightforward and powerful tools in modern organic synthetic chemistry. Bi (hetero) …

The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and
CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-electron processes. As a …

The replacement of hydrogen with fluorine in organic molecules can profoundly influence
their chemical and physical properties, leading to a range of compounds with highly …

In the field of asymmetric synthesis, nonracemic sulfoxides are recognized as valuable and
efficient reagents. Their extensive use as chiral auxiliaries and intermediates is …

Asymmetry is ubiquitous in every part of Nature1 and has a great impact in many fields, not
only in chemistry but also even in arts. In the pharmaceutical area, asymmetry plays an …

We investigated a series of sulfonamide boronic acids that resulted from the merging of two
unrelated AmpC β-lactamase inhibitor series. The new boronic acids differed in the …

An enantioselective intermolecular addition reaction of azlactones, as carbon nucleophiles,
with styrene derivatives, as simple olefins, was demonstrated using a newly developed …

In this article, we aim at demonstrating the potential uses, possibilities, and successful
applications of (-)-and (+)-menthol and its most prevalent derivatives in preparative organic …

Perfluorinated aryl-incorporating chiral monophosphoric acids were used for highly
stereoselective reactions of N-acyl and N-acyloxy aldimines with styrenes. Their electronic …

A variety of functionalised biaryls and heterobiaryls are prepared by intramolecular free
radical [1, 5]-ipso-substitution using sulfonamide and sulfonate derived tethering chains. The …
